Just seen a replay of the finish, I reckon Bouhanni should get the combativity award for his 'combative' sprinting technique  4

3 & 14 on Purist.
2, 3, 5, 6, 12 for Standard.

I'll take that. I *knew* Cav would win unless he crashed or broke down, but didn't want to risk that much of my team budget--crappy stuff tends to happen on the first sprint stage of a GT. C'est la velo!

Wurf should be winning mountains, Visconti 2nd. I think the pts competition for the fantasy game will be the overall pts, so Cav will be winning that.

Wurf/Visconti/Bonnaford all on 3 points, organisers giving the jersey to Visconti on countback (he must have finished higher on the climb that Wurk won than Wurf finished on the climb Visconti won).

Points going up, for info Cavendish was awarded most combative (http://www.gazzetta.it/Giroditalia/2013/classifiche/it/t_01_class_CLCOM....) for the stage so he gets another 10 points taking his total to 63 alone.

I scored 156 solely based on Cav, Viviani, Bouhanni and Ferrari, my purist team scored 0.

My purist team got 0 aswell, check your email. DONT go giving all the guys the same point, score it EXACTLY like the Giro have, Visconti 5, Wurf 4, Bonnaford 3....

Not thrilled with my score, but don't think my picks were that bad. Now to consider the TTT...

Will the time gaps be confirmed or does the Giro have a 3km rule for crashes? If not with today's time bonus Cav will have a very healthy lead going into the TTT.

3K rule is in effect, according to Kelly's commentary.

Go Cav! And 1,2,4,5 so happy with that too - was hoping Keukeleire was one of them Greenedge guys in the top 10 but never mind. Looked like Degenkolb leading the bunch home in 11th/12th or whatever.

Naples looks like a nice place to spend a weekend too...

It isn't, it's the grottiest place I've ever been, and I've been to Bradford!

In all honesty, we got stuck there after the Icelandic volcano thing a few years ago, we'd been in Sorrento (which is very nice, if a little touristy) but Naples was a dive in comparison.

Good pizzas though.

Why oh why did I drop Viviani for Ferrari?!

Still, proof that nobody can sprint like Cav. Creditable 7th for Adam Blythe too.
